Wyoming Dinosaur Center, Paleontology museum in East Thermopolis, United States
The Wyoming Dinosaur Center displays more than 70 mounted dinosaur skeletons, hundreds of exhibits, and geological specimens spanning prehistoric periods.
The discovery of dinosaur bones at Warm Springs Ranch in 1993 led to the construction of this center at the southern margin of Big Horn Basin.
The center maintains programs for scientific research, education, and laboratory work, contributing to the advancement of paleontological knowledge and public understanding.
The museum runs daily excavation programs where participants learn fossil identification techniques and proper documentation methods at nearby dig sites.
The facility houses the Thermopolis Specimen, the sole Archaeopteryx fossil displayed outside Europe, alongside a 35-foot Tyrannosaurus rex named Stan.
